Weight loss/meal replacement shakes

I dont think one should rely on store bought shakes for weight loss. I've used those shakes and ate well in the past and still managed to stay the same or gain.

I use a meal plan from the doctor called HMR. I love it, when I have the money to buy it.

When I dont I use Max Protein.

I was using ther slimfast shakes, until I checked out the sugar content, just by having 2 shakes, put me over my daily allowance of sugar!!! I am not going back to having egg on toast for breakfast, dry fried, and for lunch I like to have a mug shot, which is like a cup a soup with pasta or noodles.

I use Herbalife or Herbex

So far I have used Carnation Instant Breakfast in soy milk for breakfast and dinner, I've also been eating a lot of fresh veggies and fruits and a low calorie dinner and so far I have lost 23 lbs since May 21, 2014

when im in the mood i put in EAS Lean 15 protein , one cup of mixed berries and a cup of silk almond milk fortified with protein and fiber and a half cup of water .. its really good and holds me over for a while ..i have to really force my next meal in three hours later

Over a year, I have lost 15 pounds and gone from 24% body fat to 11% and am now at my target weight, with metabolic age 9 years less than actual.

I have MFP goals set to 1200 calories per day (though I usually consume closer to 1800), with 5% from carbs, and 3 workouts per week, and try to get at least 180 grams of protein per day. This works out to 15g of carbs per day, but I usually go up to about 20g.

I use Cytosport 100% Whey protein powder (from Costco) and Cytosport Whey Isolate RTD protein drinks (netrition.com or similar) as meal replacements, plus snacks of cheese, meat, fish or Atkins bars, trying to assure adequate protein intake throughout the day.

Supper is usually a green salad (with shredded cheese and bacon bits but no croutons), low-carb vegetable and lean meat or fish protein source.

I have found it's important to replenish protein often (hence the snacks), and that cutting back on carbs really helps. Many snack bars (even "protein bars") and some protein drinks have too many carbs. This is where tracking with MFP really helps!

So far, so good. A bit more belly fat and another inch to lose in the waist.

I like Syntrax Matrix Milk Chocolate (or any of the chocolates). I make the shake at 6 am and drink it while getting ready for work. (One scoop Syntrax, one scoop Big Train Fit Frappe Mocha, a tablespoon of sugar free chocolate pudding, a teaspoon stevia, four ice cubes, 8 ounces light soy milk or skim milk, and 4 ounces water.) 43 grams of protein, 310 calories. This holds me over until noon. Some days I'm not even hungry at lunch time. On those days, I head over to the local shake shop and get a Herbalife shake, aloe, and tea. (I'm NOT a distributor, I just like the convenience of having one of these shops practically next door - and I love all the flavor choices.) I also have a tub of the Fit Frappe at work so I can make my own shake with water and ice cubes.. 22 grams of fiber and 130 calories. I have a Cuisinart smoothie blender that I brought to work.
